Teachers at public school in Durham stage recreation of toppling of Confederate statue

It would be instructive to see the lesson plan that informed this educational demonstration. Among the bulleted goals you might expect to find would be “to teach students the importance of vandalism and mob hysteria as agents of social justice.”

Notice that the teacher on the far left of the photo (how appropriate!) is wearing a bandito mask in solidarity with Antifa, while a woman in the back has her fist raised à la Black Lives Matter. The cretins in the foreground meantime are shown mimicking the actions of the mob who defiled the real statue two weeks ago by kicking and stomping on an effigy — in this case a model of a skeleton borrowed ostensibly from the biology lab. It is wearing a dunce cap, but clearly there are more deserving heads in this picture.
